Background:
Fresh water is one of the main
natural resources used excessively by manufacturing industries. To minimize the
fresh water uptake, industries can recycle and reuse water in different
processes. Moreover, industries can benefit from symbiosis relations with
neighboring industries and exchange used water. To do so, industries require
meeting a certain water quality for use in different processes (e.g. process,
washing, cooling, etc.). Therefore, to recycle and reuse wastewater from
different industries use, decentralized fit-for-purpose treatment units are
considered.
Project description:
This special course is part of the
Gecko project (Green and circular innovation for Kenyan companies). Gecko is a
Danida-funded pilot research project (2018-2020) and aims at providing
scientific knowledge base for developing a national strategy for designing and
projecting high-circular eco-industrial parks in Kenya. An existing industrial
site in Nairobi, Kenya is chosen as case study.
The main purpose of this special
course is to identify and evaluate wastewater treatment technologies used to
remove particular pollutants or categories of pollutants in wastewater stream from
various industries.
The main tasks of this special
course are as following:
- Performing literature study on best available industrial wastewater
treatment technologies for internal or external reuse
- Developing/identifying cost functions for selected wastewater treatment
technologies in practice
Forudsætninger
Very good Knowledge of wastewater treatment processes
